I have looked in the C.Cr.P., and in the Government Code, but I don't think I am looking in the right place.

Is the State required to pay for documents we subpoena for use before the grand jury or the petit jury? Something tells me yes, but I can't find it.

The question has come up primarily by communications carriers demanding a hefty sum for their records.

Any help? Thanks................

Thanks, JB!

Pursuant to Hurtado v. United States, 410 U.S. 589 (1973), supplying information in connection with a criminal investigation is normally considered a public duty, no matter how financially burdensome it may be. A business may not recover from the investigating authority the cost of retrieving and producing documents in response to a grand jury subpoena.
